I Am Living In A Land Of Death

• F

Verse 1:
 
    F                   Am 
I'm living in a land of death 
    C                 Fmaj7 
the trees are burning grey 
          F                    Am 
there's a smoldering smoke overhead 
        G                            
and the night looks the same as the day 

it seems a miracle that I can stand 
when everyone i've known 
drifts up in the air with the ash 
every time that the wind starts to blow 

Pre-chorus:
 
            F           Am              C 
but i feel alive with a life that's not mine 
              F              Am             C 
your law is a stream in this wasteland - my lifeline 


        F                  C 
so much more than precious gold 
         F           Am 
are your promises my lord 
        F               C 
by them is your servant warned 
                 G 
in keeping them great reward 



Verse 3:
 
your direction is marked in light 
your law secures my wounds 
i will meditate day and night 
and in season you'll harvest your fruit 

Verse 4:
 
though a poison should threaten to kill 
i know my Savior reigns 
and when the breezes of death leave a chill 
I've got Jesus' blood in my veins 

Pre-chorus 2:
 
So i feel alive with a life that's not mine 
and i'm believing that that is your intended design 



        F                  C 
so much more than precious gold 
         F           Am 
are your promises my lord 
        F               C 
by them is your servant warned 
                 G 
in keeping them great reward 



Interlude 

Bridge: 
                F 
The kingdoms of man have all decayed 
             Dm 
the ruins of progress turn to waste 
            C 
the gods of greed lay in their graves 
            G 
darkness is everywhere 
but there's a path in the dark that has emerged 
i can see a great light beyond this curse 
a brilliant blaze that is your word 
a beacon of hope that burns 

Outro: 
               F 
and I focus my captivated gaze 
               Dm 
on the radiant light from Jesus' face 
             C 
the water of life is all i crave 
          E7 
only your word remains 

So much more than precious gold 
is the beauty I behold 
give me the glorious reward 
of knowing you my king, my lord
